Re: [nv-l] loadhost not working

[Chris Chato <cchato@us.ibm.com>]

The "-p" option (ping) does not work for loadhosts of Windows. I'm not sure
about the "-P". In anycase, you can leave -p off and still add the host.
You can also leave "-P" off and get it added, but I don't know if you need
it or not for your purposes.

Thanks,

The command does have a -t and -v option, at least on Unix. Maybe a verbose
trace would tell you what is wrong.

   Please respond to nv-l                                                 
                                                                          






created a little text file called WTF.txt in it had the IP address and the
DNS name of the device

did not use the -m subnet mask.  Reading the rules about it I thought the
-m for subnet was optional meaning that if I did nto use it then it would
attempt to determine the subnet once it found the device.

the exact syntax was
loadhosts -p -P -v < d:\WTF.txt

this was on the NT machine.  I could understand if I did not do the syntax
right, but just the fact that the error I receive says no ICMP response
from devices it was made it seem odd, because I could ping it before and
immediately after running the loadhosts.
